    Why on earth would anyone make a movie out of Firefly? Let's see, a totally unbelievable melding of the western and space genres in an almost direct take-off of Cowboy Bebop with cheesy dialog and cookie cutter characters. Yeah, right, I can see how this would be seen as original.

    I mean I know there are people out there who liked the show, but seriously, how can you even begin to compare this with the myriad number of other canceled but better shows that haven't gotten movie treatment? Let ALONE revised on TV itself.

    I'm calling it right now, this is going to be a flop of titanic proportions. Not only does it have a miniscule audience, but the main plot for the show (and any sub-polots you can dream up) can't in trhe least be compelling. A two hour extravaganza to deliver penicillin to Trillium-6! Hooray!

    The only credit I'll give Firefly was the scene in the first episode where he kicked the non-compliant bad guy into the engine's intake. THAT was original, unexpected, and highly amusing.
